Price Guide
As many of you are probably aware – “from” prices can be misleading. This led to Electric Bloom being reluctant to advertise in this way. However, we have listened to our clients who expressed an opinion that a “guide” price would be helpful when first looking for their Wellness holiday. Our “guide” prices are just that, a guide but, as most of you know, high season, late flight bookings, offers and other factors can see prices fluctuate up or down. We have tried to be as honest and realistic as possible so show both low and high season rates. We hope to get as close to the “guide” prices as we possibly can. We always endeavour to get you the best possible price for your holiday – a promise we wholeheartedly commit to keeping. Click on the programme you are interested in to see our price “guide”. All with peace of mind with ATOL protection.
